Serial Ports (Client and Server) The Serial Port Client and Serial Port Server profiles (sometimes called “cable replacement”) enable you to use a Bluetooth connection in place of a serial COM cable. When the Blue Manager Suite is installed, the software also installs four Bluetooth COM ports: two for general serial port use (client and server), and two for dial-up networking (client and server). You can use these ports just as you would ordinary COM ports. You can view the Bluetooth COM ports in the Profile Manager under Serial Port Servers, or in the Windows Device Manager under Ports. • To use a client port: use Blue Manager to select a remote device, and connect to its serial port. After connecting, your applications can open and use the client port just like any other. • To use a server port: open the server port from any application that uses serial ports. Remote devices with a serial port client can connect to the local device and communicate through this port. Using Dial-up Networking Windows enables you to create a Bluetooth dial-up networking (DUN) connection that you can use as with any other dial-up connection. For detailed instructions, open Windows Help and Support, search for “Bluetooth DUN,” and follow these points: • You must have a BT-compliant DUN gateway device installed. • Select Bluetooth Modem – DUN as the device to use. • Use a maximum speed of 115200. • Blue Manager must be running to use the connection.
Bluetooth Profile Overview A Bluetooth “profile” is a collection of settings that defines standard communication methods and applications for a particular type of Bluetooth device. Blue Manager supports the following profiles: • Human Interface Devices • Serial Port Clients and Servers • Dial-up Networking Devices • Audio Sink and Source Devices • Audio/Video Remote Control Devices • Handsfree Units • Object Push Clients and Servers • File Transfer Clients and Servers • Hardcopy Cable Replacement Printers • Personal Area Network Devices • Basic Imaging Initiators
Troubleshooting If you have trouble connecting to or using remote Bluetooth devices with Blue Manager, try these solutions. • Your Bluetooth adapter must be plugged in and recognized by the Blue Manager software. When your adapter is recognized, the Bluetooth icon in the system tray will be blue or green. A gray icon indicates that Blue Manager cannot access any Bluetooth adapter. • Make sure the remote device is turned on, has Bluetooth enabled, and is configured to allow incoming connections. • Some devices must be paired before their services can be used. • Make sure the remote device supports the service you are trying to use. • For some profiles, you may need to disconnect other devices first. • If a device you have used before does not appear in the main window, you may need to select the Show All Known Devices filter. • In rare occasions, you may need to unplug and plug in the Bluetooth adapter and/or close and restart the Blue Manager applications to reset them.
This equipment also should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
